Patio and Pool

Hidden from view at the centre of the Riad, the courtyard is one of the highlights of Dar Habiba.

Unusually large and airy it makes a beautiful space to sit in sun or shade, watching the occasional bird drinking from the fountain, sipping traditional Moroccan mint tea or eating a light meal. Enjoy the open ‘Bhou’ sitting area.

There’s strictly no diving in to the pool, but it’s easy to do a hundred laps, or perhaps just dangle your feet in to cool down after a long walk around the nearby souks. At night the courtyard comes to life with the play of candle light around the pool.
